anoxic bodies is a collection of meditations, poems and short essays:
on Airborne; On Symbiosis, Zoonosis; On the Machinic and Biological ~ Carrying, Exchanging and Transmissions; On Cleaning & Cleansing; On Anoxic Bodies. it accompanies a series of works, of the same name, made using: soap, water, germ and virucidal solution, hand-sanitiser, hermetically- sealed plastic substrates, osha root, astragalus, eucalyptus, and saliva. These function as material compositions to call on, as to signify, cellular envelopes and structures.
